Time to find a good used Lincoln Continental or Grand Marquis.
Then again with Uber operated self driving transportation appliances replacing personal automobiles, as one "future world" vision sees it, the automotive landscape could indeed be unrecognizable. The economic impact of this shift in the automotive sector and the regulatory infrastructure needed to create a closed transportation environment could indeed appear very Orwellian when it comes to cars.
Cancel my coffee order and get me a double Bourbon.....................
Good luck with that. Far too many people will be unwilling to give up the freedom of driving themselves. Rural areas, small towns, even larger communities could never manage something to accommodate all the transportation needs. The vast majority of people cannot afford to give up a conventional car to purchase something new and automated. The government certainly doesn't have the means to financially support it either. These are all just obvious top of the head thoughts but pretty accurate.I've been thinking a lot about that. For driverless cars to really work, non-driverless cars would have to be eliminated from the roads.
That's an interesting concept. Have to look into more details about that approach. For nothing more than an A to B mode of tranport might make some sense.A lot of the manufacturers are going to a subscription-based rental program where you don't own the car anymore. And don't have to pay for insurance it's all lumped into a monthly payment. I guess that's the new thing.
Concur - my son views cars as another 'appliance'. I tried to get him to help me change the oil in his 2007 Jetta and he showed zero interest.I think Ford's move is in response to the Millennials reportedly not interested in owning cars. My son bought my grandson a used car. He's just graduating from high school. The car sat unused- he didn't want to get a part time job to pay for insurance, and when I offered to show him how to take care of the car he couldn't even figure out how to raise the hood. Jeez, how times have changed- I've been crawling all over engines since I was an early teen.
